Chapter 180: Losing My Father
This funeral was not reported to the Chen family, but to the second room. The second daughter-in-law Zhao is ranked according to her seniority, and she is Zhao Yiming's aunt of the same clan.
Zhao's person has always been arrogant and arrogant, usually Zhao Yiming came to Chen's house to help Xuejiao's family work, she didn't know when she saw it, but Zhao Yiming saw her and respectfully shouted her aunt, according to the situation in the past, Zhao's family may not go at home.
As soon as Mrs. Chen heard about the funeral, she carried a big broom, took a pair of small feet to chase the black-clothed Housheng, hit him with a broom, and scolded with a broom: "Bastard, the Zhao family is dead, and people come to our Chen family to report the funeral, bad things, if you don't kiss it, you will report it indiscriminately, see if I beat you to death." ”
Young and strong, it's not good to deal with an old woman, step by step, the sky is already hot, he is only wearing a thin shirt, the broom hit the body with painful grinning, can't stand it and open his breath and said in a hurry: "Your second daughter-in-law is not the daughter of our Zhao family, isn't it?" The funeral of the family has been reported, not to mention giving saliva to drink, but picking up the broom and beating it, what is the reason? ”
"The eight lambs are up!" Mrs. Chen took a sip, and the funeral afterlife flashed Mrs. Chen's broom by mistake, and jumped to the door in three steps and two steps, Mrs. Chen also picked up the door and scolded, and the old man Chen just came back from working in the field and looked at it before persuading her to go in. Zhang stood at the door with a copper-eared digger and laughed while digging his ears, and the big eggs, the second eggs, and the snow baby all picked up the door frame to watch the excitement.
As soon as Xue Jiao heard Zhao Shun's name and knew that it was Zhao Yiming's father, she sighed in her heart and walked out with the Li family.
The mourning descendant threw a white scarf on his hand, and the white hat on his head was beaten to the ground by Pan's broom. There is also a white filial piety cloth tied around his waist. Li went out to ask a few questions and brought a cup of tea to the mourner. It was a brother of the Zhao family who came to report the funeral, usually this brother was good to the Zhao Shun family, he ran to several villages to report the funeral to relatives and friends, at this time he didn't eat a meal or drink a bowl of water, even screamed a few bad luck, tiptoed into the door to pick up the white hat. FAW drank all the tea brought by the Li family. Turn around and go to the next one.
Li pulled him and asked, "It's okay today, how can you say it's gone?" "When I went to Zhao's house during the day, Zhao Shun vomited blood and didn't have the strength to stand up. But that situation can last for two months, so I can go anyway.
The funeral descendant looked at Li a few times, he was beaten by Mrs. Chen, and he was angry in his heart, and he didn't come to this family first, but there was a reasonable lady. It's just that I don't know that she also knows Zhao Shun's family, and listening to her tone, the relationship between the two families is still very close.
"Do you know Brother Junko's family?" After reporting the funeral, he wiped the tea foam on his mouth. Quietly glanced at the Li family.
"Uncle Zhao Shun's son Zhao Yiming is my father's student, of course our family knows their family, and my mother went to Zhao's house to see it during the day, this big brother. When did Uncle Zhao Shun not have it, you can also make it clear, and our family can go to a personal funeral. Chen Xuejiao mixed a bowl of thick fried noodle tea and handed it to the descendants. He had walked a long way, and he was hungry at this time. Picked up the fried noodles and puffed down his stomach.
Listening to Xue Jiao say this, I know that the Li family is a talented lady. In the past, the Zhao family returned to Zhaojia Village's mother's house, and ruined the reputation of the Dafang family. Hurriedly put away the bowl and bowed deeply to the Li family: "It turned out to be a talented lady, I was clumsy, I didn't dare to admit it just now!" ”
"Why didn't Yiming's father have it?" Li Shi turned sideways and avoided the salute of the afterlife.
Housheng sighed, put the white hat on his head again, and said: "Uncle Shunzi was hanged, and in the evening, the brothers in the clan came to the house to make a fuss and said things that should not be said, and those words stained his ears and hanged him in a fit of anger." ”
Li Shi and Xue Jiao glanced at each other and took a breath of cold air. The Li family is still talking, those brothers in the clan are like wolves and tigers, leaving the Xu family and Zhang Yiming orphans and widows, maybe how to bully them.
The sorghum rice brought from Zhao's house was still soaked in water, and the rice milk was milled by the skin, but the pulp had not yet come out, so Zhao went by the way. Li is a kind-hearted person, thinking of Xu's future situation, his heart is sad for her like frying.
As soon as the funeral queen went out, Chen Qi'an took Chen Qiping into the door, and both of them frowned.
In the afternoon, Huang Xiucai was lecturing, and Zhao Yiming was called home, and later it was rumored that he had no father. There are also three or two students from Zhaojiazhuang in the private school, who know the roots of Zhao Yiming's family, and indignantly say that the Zhao family bullied Zhao Yiming's father, and everyone expressed their indignation.
Zhao Yiming is usually cheerful and generous in school, and he can get along with anyone, but he didn't expect there to be such an unbearable clansman behind him. "Yiming's father is gone, maybe the people in the clan are making trouble, but I'm afraid that they are all staying in the spirit shed now and calculating the two houses." Chen Xuejiao was unhappy for the Xu family, the man went, and it was the woman who suffered.
"We discussed, Master Huang went to mourn early tomorrow morning, and Uncle Han also went, relying on their face, those brothers in the clan didn't dare to make trouble." Chen Qi'an said.
On the morning of the second day, Li took Chen Xuejiao, Chen Qi'an, and Chen Qiping to Zhao's house for funeral, leaving Xueru and Jing at home. Li thought that Xu's had been making trouble for a day and a night, and he must not have the heart to eat, but he couldn't stop eating this rice, so he soaked the beans and crushed them in the rice and boiled two bowls of thick and snow-white porridge, picked up the green shepherd's cabbage, scalded it with boiling water, dripped sesame oil, and put it in the food box and carried it over.
When I arrived at Zhao's house, there was a commotion, and the patriarch was a gray-bearded old man, sitting on a chair in the courtyard with crutches. A middle-aged man who looked like a steward was talking to the patriarch with his head down.
Chen Xuejiao saw Zhao Yiming kneeling through the snow-white spirit shed, with stacks of burning paper money in his hands, his face was red by the firelight, and he didn't see him crying.
Han Xingjian and Huang Xiucai had already arrived and were invited to speak in front of the patriarch.
The students in the private school came to mourn one after another, and Chen Qiping and Chen Qi'an stood with them, avoiding everyone and talking behind a tree.
Li took Xuejiao to squeeze through the crowd to the inner room, Xu was lying on the kang, and she was wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
Li hurriedly went up to hold her hand and asked Xue Jiao to open the lunch box, which was separated by warm water. The porridge is still hot at this time, Xu has only drunk a little soup from yesterday to now, and he is very hungry at this time, but when Xue Jiao came up with the hot porridge, he asked the fragrance to wash and slowly ate a few bites, and then he shed tears: "I know that his illness will not be cured, and he will be tortured every day." Know how to go early and be liberated early. But I felt like I had lost a piece of meat in my heart. ”
Xu and Zhao Shun are a young couple, although they only met after picking a hijab, they have been in love for more than ten years. As soon as Zhao Shun snorted, he felt like he had a piece of meat in his heart.
Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if he was really a fool, he would definitely not be able to eat at this time. Xu Shi leaned on the kang and his voice was full of sadness, and his face turned yellow and gray after a day's work. A few strands of gray hair appeared sporadically in his hair, and his eyes only felt chaotic, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.
Li Shi then shed tears: "We are all women, I know that my sister's life is difficult." But you still have a mile, and he's still waiting for you to take care of it. ”
As soon as he said this, Xu Shi trembled. Tears flowed down her face.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside.
“…… Zhao Shun once said it when he was alive. He made a living outside, and his family's land and house belonged to his family. ”
"Now that he is gone, his wife has to remarry, and a woman's family can't remarry with her husband's property."
……
Zhao Shun was not cold, they all talked like this, but it is conceivable that when Zhao Shun entered the ground, he didn't know what to arrange.
Xu Shi looked out through the window paper, the whole person leaned on the pillow and trembled, picked the edge of the bed with ten fingers, pinched it deeply, and couldn't stop trembling: "The dog's heart and wolf lungs, Zhao Shun was forced to death by them, and now he is forcing us orphans and widows in front of the spirit." ”
"There are gods three feet above your head, and you are not afraid of retribution." Li accompanied the scolding.
Li knew that she was sad and angry, but he was really sighing, and scolded her once, knowing that this matter could not be solved by scolding alone: "People are good at being bullied, Sister Xu, you have always been a cool person, you can't fall this time, you must come up with an idea, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to relax your heart, whether it is in front of the clan or the county master, you have to fight for Yiming." I think back then, I begged for a living in the hands of my step-mother-in-law, and I endured it in exchange for being bullied, and I suffered my child for life, as long as you were hard, no one dared to do anything to you. ”
Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but glance at Li's and applauded Li's opinion in her heart. Xu was already disheartened because Zhao Shun was hanged, but after listening to Li's words at this time, brilliance slowly flashed in his eyes.
When there was a commotion outside, Xu lifted the quilt and ran out.
A long-faced man standing in the courtyard was standing with Butcher Zhao, and the stars were flying in his mouth: "...... She must be remarried, even thunder and rain can't stop her......"
Before she finished speaking, he was slapped by Xu's two ear scrapers, and he sat on the ground with gold stars in his eyes, and Xu's fingers pointed at his forehead: "Is your surname Zhao?" Your mother has found a new father for you, you think that everyone can't keep it like your mother, how can you run to the Zhao family to make trouble. ”
The man's face was red and white after being scolded, and he fell to the ground for a while before he got up. This person's mother was a widow when she was young, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled him to remarry to the Zhao family, he was not deeply rooted in the Zhao family, and he clinged to the Zhao butcher every day to make a living.
Xu pointed at Zhao Butcher and scolded: "Suffer a thousand knives, you kill pigs every day and know the truth that white knives go in and red knives come out, but you don't know that rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, you make me anxious, I will also use knives, believe it or not, I will cut you piece by piece with a knife, just like cutting pork for you." ”
Xu Shi's anger trembled, and he tried his best to jump out every word: "Usually if you come to make trouble with me, you will treat me as a good person, why did my man die, it was not you who forced him to die!" I have endured so many days, and now I have given up this life, and I can no longer spare you! Saying that, the tears were sprinkled on the white flags, wet a lot, and a cry was like a cry: "Now that my man is dead, my family is not extinct, I still have a son, as evidenced by the sunny day, I am desperate to raise Yiming, I don't want the clan to help with a stitch and a thread, but if the clan dares to beat our orphans and widows, ride a donkey and read the chant and wait to see." ”
The people who surrounded the courtyard, after the Xu family finished speaking, there were praises and sighs, and there were even more enthusiastic women who shed tears, and everyone accused the brothers in the Zhao clan.
Zhao Yiming saw his mother come out, walked from the front of the funeral shed to the yard, held Xu's hand, and said to everyone with a resolute face: "Fellow villagers, you have also seen the situation in my family, my father has passed away, and only my mother and I are left to depend on each other. Let's start here, from now on, I won't rely on anyone in the clan, even if I can't go to school, and I will serve my mother well. ”
The mother and son hugged each other, Xu's tears fell in strings, and Zhao Butcher and others were about to run away in the accusations of everyone.
The patriarch had to stand up and speak, and before that, Shopkeeper Han and Huang Xiucai had already laid a lot of truth in front of the patriarch. The patriarch is old, and there are times when he makes mistakes, he has a son who is not successful, and he has to rely on the clan to support him, so what the clan says is what it is, he, the patriarch, is nothing, knowing that Huang Xiucai and Han shopkeeper Enwei and gave him a lot of ethics, he decided to come forward and make a statement.
Zhao Yiming's family has ten acres of land and two rooms, and they also have to occupy this thing, so they are ruthless.
The patriarch did not say it in front of everyone, and invited Zhao Butcher and other Zhao family children, as well as Zhao Yiming and the Xu family, into the hall, and in front of Huang Xiucai and Han Shopkeeper, the Zhao family's children were like Xu's mother and son, and promised not to make trouble in the future. Huang Xiucai wrote a guarantee that the matter would be over. (To be continued)
